A front-capturing method for the numerical simulation of dispersed two-phase flow

A large variety of industrial processes involves a mixture of two immiscible liquids, e.g. emulsification in food industry and mixing in (petro-)chemical reactors. Understanding the dynamics and interaction of bubbles and droplets in these processes is crucial for economically and ecologically optimized design. Although experimental...

Numerical simulation of hydrodynamic wave loading by a compressible two-phase model

The numerical simulation of hydrodynamic wave loading on different types of offshore structures is important to predict forces on and water motion around these structures. This paper presents a numerical study of the effects of two-phase flow on an offshore structure subject to breaking waves. The numerical model, an improved Volume Of Fluid ...
